[Verse 1]
In a perfect world I wouldn't have met you at all
In a perfect world I would've said “Hi” and moved on
[Chorus]
Unfortunately I don't know anything
'Bout love or its foolish tendencies
And just like Chet I tend to fall in love too easily
[Verse 2]
In a perfect world I'd live out my days by the sea
In a light blue cottage
Just the sand and ocean and me
[Chorus]
Unfortunately, I'm too romantic
Dramatic for that reality
I go ahead and just like Chet I fall in love too easily
[Bridge]
Why did you, put me through
Eleven months of “you're so pretty's”, “I miss you's”?
It's absurd, what even occurred
Between autumn and spring?
If you never loved me
[Verse 3]
In a perfect world I wouldn't have met you that night
Would've stayed with my friends and just danced 'til the morning light
[Chorus]
Unfortunately, I can't trust anybody
That tells me anything
And just like that I tend to fall a little hard a little fast
At every turn I feel a little heartbreak and a little burn
And just like Chet
I tend to fall in love too easily
